Let the Script be started by Registry-Entry

[MZU]

I have a problem :

I want to programm a VBScript which can be started, from the context-menu, when you click the right mousebutton on a .pdf-File.
To do that, i have added an entry to the registry.
My VBScript must know the whole name of the .pdf-File. When i add a %1 to my registry-entry, the DOS-name of my .pdf-File gets added.
(command : wscript.exe D:\TEMP\mzu\Ablage.vbs %1)
Is there an other possibility (%2?), to get the whole windows-name of my file, or can i find this name with a function of my Script?

Can anyone help me?

This may be a very odd bug...

The following yield different results:

c:\windows\system32\wscript.exe c:\test.vbs "%1"
returns full path

wscript.exe c:\test.vbs "%1"
returns short path

%systemroot%\system32\wscript.exe c:\test.vbs "%1"
error: can't find the file you just opened (%1)

c:\test.vbs "%1"
error: not a valid Win32 application (doesn't pass thru the .vbs extension to wscript)

c:\windows\system32\wscript.exe c:\test.vbs %1
breaks the parameters up at the spaces

Ran these tests on Windows XP Pro OS. Basically, use the first method.
